Written, arranged and produced by Roger Hodgson.

His first solo album released a year after leaving Supertramp, Roger wrote, produced and arranged In The Eye of The Storm. In a remarkable display of musical versatility, Roger played all the instruments on the album except for a few tracks where he was accompanied by Michael Shrieve on drums, Jimmy Johnson on fretless bass and Ken Allardyce on harmonica



The original Supertramp guitarist/vocalist goes solo. This debut is reminiscent of Supertramp's multilayered, synthesizer-driven pop/rock, and includes the single "Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)."

HAD A DREAM

Had a dream I was born
To be naked in the eye of the storm
And now it's standing right in front of me
What's it going to do to me, who knows,
Had a dream it was time
To be taken to the front of the line
Well that is not a place you wanna be
sleeping with  the enemy, you know,

I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone
But it's time -gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know I have to make it alone

Had a dream it was war
And they couldn't tell me what it was for
But it was something they could be lie about
Something we could die about, you know
Anytime, anyplace
When you look that man in the face
Well it is not a face you wanna see
Sleeping with the enemy, you know

Mary, can you hear me
Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean
Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen
I wish I could  hold you
I wish I could  hold you

Had a dream it was time
To be a witness of the scene of the crime
Well, that is something you can analyse
Something you can criticise, who knows
So we wait, hesitate
And we're making such a mistake
Oh whatever can the matter be
Sleeping with the enemy,  you know

I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone
But it's time -gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know I have to make it alone


IN JEOPARDY

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I feel I'm about to cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me the reason why
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I'm watching the feeling grow
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me I want to know
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, the writing is on the wall
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I can't seem to sleep at all
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we utter a lonely cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, who cares  if we live or die

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Pray for tomorrow
Living your lives
Watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, so where is the golden age
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we're ready to turn the page
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, it's getting so out of hand
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I wish I could understand

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Pray for tomorrow
Living your lives
Watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Sing for tomorrow
Living your lives
Watching, waiting, working, playing,
singing, dancing, running  as fast as we can


LOVERS IN THE WIND

Time is always on the run
We've only just begun,
Lovers in the wind

Life is all we have to share
You know we must  take care
Lovers in the wind

There  was a time when it was hard to know
Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
But no one wants to know
And no one wants to cry

Love is all  I have to give
It's all I need to live
Lovers in the wind

There  was a time when it was hard to know
Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
But no one wants to know
And no one wants to cry

Time is always on the run
We've only just begun,
Lovers in the wind


HOOKED ON A PROBLEM

I'm hooked on a problem
It won't go away
So many opinions
I don't know what to say

Can somebody help me
What they trying to do

Life used to be simple
Life used to be fun
Now it's all catchin' up on me
Tell me what I have I done

Can somebody help me
What they trying to do

Hey don't you ever get lonely
Hey don't you wish it was easy
Facing the world on your own

I'm hooked on a problem
It won't let me go
The way people look at me
Feels like twenty below

Can somebody help me
What they trying to do

Hey don't you ever get lonely
Hey don't you wish it was easy
Facing the world on your own

If you know the answer
What I'm tryin' to say
I need a solution
Cause I'm wasting away

Can somebody help me
What they trying to do
Won't somebody help me
What they trying to do
Can somebody help me
What they trying to do


GIVE ME LOVE, GIVE ME LIFE

It's feeling like it's time to ring the changes
It's feeling like it's time to be reborn
Cause here we go again
Proclaiming it's the end
And reaching out for something
To bring it back again
We're living on good fortune
We're cheating all our friends
So tell me, oh tell me
Now where's it going to end

I hope it's not too late to see the danger
I'd really like to wake and see the dawn
Cause here we go again
We're trying to pretend
We're blaming one another
For  what is ours to mend
We're fighting for the future
We're ringing out the post
It feels good, it feels good
But is it going to last?

Give me love,
Give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope,
Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life,
Give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time,
Give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope

Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well, everything is not like you'd like it to be
Everything is a two-bit, two-bit down
And everybody 's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be

Well everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well, nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be
Everything is a two-bit, two-bit down
And everybody 's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be

I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Give me love ... reason to hope

I see just what I want to see
Just what I want to be
I can be anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I go just where I want to go
Just when I want to know
I can go anytime, anyplace, anywhere

Things just ain't what they used to be
Ain't what they ought to be
Ain't  what they 've got to be, gonna be probably

Things just ain't gonna get to me
Ain't gonna bother me
Ain't gonna worry me , hurry me, let'em be

Give me love,
Give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope,
Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life,
Give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time,
Give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope
GIVE ME LIFE


I'M NOT AFRAID

Oh, what a way to go
We're goin'down slow
We're movin'to the rhythm
We're letting  it flow
We're steppin'out of time
It's freaking your mind
We're livin'in the body
And we're doin'just fine

Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's ya milk and honey
You know, we're doin'alright

Well, round and round we go
We're goin'down slow
We're shakin'to the rhythm
We're letting  it flow
We're steppin'out of time
It imprisons your mind
We're livin'in the body
And we're doin'just fine

Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's ya milk and honey
Cause we're doin'alright
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's ya milk and honey
You know, we're doin'alright

I'm not afraid of nothing
I'm not afraid to cry
I'm not afraid to live
I'm not afraid to love
I'm not afraid to die

I'm not afraid of laughter
I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid to look
I'm not afraid to learn
I'm not afraid to hear

I'm not afraid of darkness
I'm not afraid of night
I'm not afraid to win
I'm not afraid to lose
I'm not afraid fight

I'm not afraid of anger
I'm not afraid of war
I'm not afraid to live
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid at all

'Cause it's a time for singing
And it's a time to dance
And it's a time to run
And it's a time to jump
And it's a time to chance

It's a time for giving
And it's a time to care
And it's a time to choose
And it's a time to do
And it's a time to dare


ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU

And so we sail towards the dawn
Joining those who gently mourn for you
It's only because of you
Friends may come and friends may go
The only friend I need to know is you
It's only because of you
Mighty castles, lonely kings
Hear the ragged children sing it's you
It's only because of you
He who smiles at lofty schemes
Stems the tide of broken dreams is you
It's only because of you
It's only because of you

And when the storms have died away
Only truth will live to say it's you
It's only because of you
And when the darkness flies away
Only love will shine to say it's true
It's only because of you
It's only because of you
